We see mentoring as a natural life-long learning process, which everybody uses, but most don’t direct.
I’m the founder of FindAMedntor.org, Michael Alexander Garska (Mike). Mentoring has been a very big part of my life for over thirty years.
I first learnt about the power of thought and emotion at the age of 16 when a mentor pointed me to authors Napoleon Hill, Claude Bristol, Norman Vincent Peale, Joseph Murphy, Og Mandino, Wayne Dyer and others. That was over thirty years ago.
After learning about the great powers available through our thought and emotion, I wondered why the information wasn’t taught in school. The most important thing I ever learned, I learned from a friend outside of school. I was actually angry. I decided to quit school and pursue a dream to spread the word that we as humans can have whatever we want by controlling our thought and emotion with our power to choose. What a journey it’s been.
Mentors have been abundant in my life because I realized early how much learning to invoke their thought and emotional habits would help me achieve what they had.
In my mid 20’s I learned effective communication and conflict resolution techniques through a local family-life education council and more mentors. I was amazed how word choices of effective communicating and conflict resolving are congruent with healthy positive thinking habits and attracting what we want into our lives.
Plain and simple, the reason mentors help, is that they help us shift our perception, thought, emotional, intentional and action process habits so we learn to attract what we want, and when we attract what we need instead of what we want, our mentors help us learn from our circumstance and shift adversity to benefit.
At this point I believe it’s extremely important that as a society we start teaching the huge affect our thought and emotional habits have on our lives and how to utilize mentors to help us adjust them. Kids are ready to start learning this stuff early (age six or seven). They’re ready to learn to choose words that allow healthy communication and attract what they want with the help of others through integrity.
Only a small percentage of our population likes to read. They want to learn other ways. All the different forms of mentoring are great options. Peer mentoring and common mentoring are very natural and happen all the time without our awareness. Creating vertical and cross mentoring environments in a structure can be very effective as well.
We’re letting our kids down. We can find words to choose and ways to express so they learn how to communicate and find mentors to help them adjust thought and emotion process habits. . We can change what we teach. Our children are only learning part of what they need from our primary schools. We could teach healthy communication, expression and word choice habit development. It’s time we start. www.SixthSense.org promotes it.
Thanks for reading.

We are building a database of mentors and apprentices—a safe community where people can find support for achieving their desires. We offer over 1400 Categories of interest ranging from careers, to education, to life process, to spirituality, so people can seek out guidance or share experiences in a specific part of life where there is mutual genuine desire for growth.
Help us build the community? Will you look inside for a will to learn and a will to share?
Remember, it's a good idea to have many mentors. We don't have to be exactly like our mentors. We only have to take what fits for us from each one, and sometimes that’s nothing. Each mentor might offer a different point of view and we are therefore able to see many options. Accept the apprentice in you. Accept the mentor in you. It creates a cycle of giving and receiving that benefit all.
Three booklets offer support to members of the community. One takes us on a journey towards personal responsibility. One helps us develope healthy communication skills for one on one interactions and one shows different options for networking, mentoring, and apprenticing.
In the Networking booklet we define an informal, yet committed, mentor/apprentice relationship. The other two booklets offer straightforward ideas on how to build the attitude and communications skills required to succeed in business and relationships.
Thanks for being here.
